Arytenoid ulcer
I had a mild pain and pricking sensation in the left side of my throat while swallowing and talking in certain pitch. I visited an ENT and a flexible laryngoscopy was performed. The ENT said there is a white ulcer on my left Arytenoid and prescribed SOMPRAZ 40, Gaviscon syrup and Allegra & asked me to come for repeat Laryngoscopy after 21 da
ys. It has been 5 days since I started the medication but so far I haven't felt any difference. How long does it take for such ulcers to settle ?. I am attaching a photo of the ulcer.

These ulcers are usually caused by a gastric acid reflux. Therefore, along with the medications you will require some lifestyle modifications:
1. Drink frequent sips of water ( preferably after every hour)
2. Avoid Tea/ Coffee/ spicy, fried & junk food/ alcohol/smoking ( preferably stop)
3. Have an early dinner and take a walk after your dinner for 15 minutes.
4. Chew a mulethi or take Alex lozenges twice a day to increase salivation for 5 days (which is alkaline and neutralises the excess acid)
You may take Sompraz twice a day for first 7 days and then take it once a day thereafter ( half-one hour prior to your meals)
